Created attachment 322976 [details] script to generate backtrace I am sorry, but it is actually by far the most simple to generate useful backtrace on your computer. Could you please make sure that you have installed yum-utils and gdb packages, and the download -debuginfo packages running debuginfo-install xorg-x11-apps.$(uname -i) Then run the attached script gbt like this gbt xmessage core.1055 Script should generate file xmessage-backtrace-1055.txt. Could you please attach this file to this bug as uncompressed attachment? Thank you
Please excuse me for long reply at this time I have huge amount of work... I'm install all debuginfo packages and ... and can't reproduce error anymore! I even do not rebuild computer (but have xorg restarted once) So, I can't even suppose what was a key to the problem. There exactly same versions of component. # rpm -qf `which xmessage ` xorg-x11-apps-7.3-3.fc9.i386 # rpm -qa '*ISO8859*' xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch I'm update other software, and possibility problem has been fixed in related libraries... So, I'm try to find problem and reproduce error again, but without success. If I can do it, I will wrote there immediately.
